Dear All,
I've playing around with my fren's SGS2 and looking at the battery usage.. Seems like Display is taking 36-40% of his battery on the SGS2.. And cell standby on his phone is only using 6% of the battery..
On my OB, the display is only using 6% of the battery power and cell standby using 45%..
I was wondering whether is the cell standby taking up a big amount of the battery and causing my phone to run out of battery so often.. Althought the nova display is saving alot of power..
Just remember,it's on % not an exact point

can we flash the baseband?
Same problem here. I think it is a bug. There is no way that cell standby is consuming this much battery.

what baseband ? sgs ?
Well it depends. If you leave your phone overnight its cell standby will be at a higher percentage than display, since the display wouldn't be used at all

i think using 10% of battery to standby for 8 hours seems too much.. BTW.. I am using singtel networks..

Hi
I am using Zeus v1 rom and I have the same problem. At night with phone in standby, in about 8h it spends 10% or more. With everything of and in 2g and gsm.
I have the same problem when using the indian based official GB. My battery drained in 10 hrs of minimal use. no wifi or 3g just 2g service. I followed the instruction on flashing another GB update which is for V20b & v20n but did not succeed in wiping data & flashing superuser. I am still waiting for helpful guides from the seniors here.
With regards to the original posters comment you need to remember that the percentages that are posted when you go to the battery use in settings are a percentage of the battery used. The only way that the two handsets could really be compared is if they have both been used in the same way for the same amount of time.
How long are you getting out of a charge and how heavily do you use your phone will give a better indication of the standby usage in relations to your friends handset.

The problem is the excessive consumption of battery, with all the tricks posted on the forum I have to charge the battery twice giorno.Con version 21 is being combined, or something I go back to version 18 which was better?
I use the v21 and bug in had spent a lot of brightness and battery after installing the ALFS v5 the bug brightness decreases 70% and the battery is much better
It's perfect for me

For what? Wasting bandwidth and time.
If you're connected to mobile data all day long, I used to charge twice a day also (especially on 3G network) on heavy usage. BUT if you're not, I'd suggest you to full wipe and start over. Recently I got 2-3 days of battery without data connected, some light game, several hour of music, calls and texts
edit: oh, also check if there's any application that make phone keeps awake although screen off. look in battery use in settings

With stock rom I can use 3g data for more than 2 hour so with 2g it surely more than that
so surely fault is in your phone/battery

mugenpowerbatteries are good but cost quite a lot
Hi
I've been lurking these forums looking for this but haven't found anything quite like this. The P880 prides itself on great standby battery life but mine is draining more than my previous Motorola RAZR (not the maxx). It never lasts more than about 14-15 hours and that is when i do almost nothing. One, two calls a few messages with no wifi and data off. I have factory reset the phone a few times and whiped the cache. I've tried not installing any software when done and fully charging but still it drains. I'm on v10f but this was a problem before I updated as well.
My only thought is that the battery is flawed, but I don't want to wait 2 weeks for it in repairs if it isn't (the service here is slow and customer support is weak when it comes to this, here in Iceland)
I took screenshots of the drainage. 90% of that is me not using the phone at all. Is this normal? Should I ask for a new battery? The phone is about 3 weeks old btw.

What version are you on? 10f has seen lot of improvement in battery life. I dont have to use SetCPU anymore to get better battery and let it run on max 1.5ghz and still seeing very good battery life, despite heavy use.
Yeah I'm on 10f as well. I was wondering if maybe flashing the phone and try to reset it totally would help but I don't know if that'd be any different than just factory resetting?

I'm going to charge him to 100% and leave him with nothing on all night and see how he handles it. What would normally happen? How much percent-drop would the battery have on an 7-8hour timespan?
Went to sleep with the phone at 94% and woke up with 69%. Everything was off. Sync, mobile data, wifi, backround data, location, gps, nfc, I even set it to 2g networks only. Now it says that the "phone" took 69% of that? I'm flabbergasted.

Same here man but didn't diseabled auto sync and broadcoast cell yet so I'm curious if I go sleep and wake up how much juice it took from my 4xHD. Something is sucking out the juice out of our phones.
The only thing that update did change with me is the heath it didn't get as hot as before but my battery is still eating a lot even when is standby.
Hey, I don't no if your phone is rooted or not?
Try deleting superuser, it helped my battery life. And also you should charge your phone more than 100% , that helped too for me.

Try to do a factory reset, the update didn't help me until I did a factory reset. Now my 4X HD only looses about 1-2% over night vid auto sync, before factory reset I lost about 30-40%.

I use GO Power Master to auto switch to Alarm mode (only alarm, brightness 30%), and the phone eat less than 1% of battery for 6 hours. (firmware V10f)
I cannot see the attached images (don't know why) but I think you should check how long your phone is Awake, Screen On, Wifi and GPS On... then see which apps are cause the drainage.
Also, give the battery more recharge cycles. The battery life on first 2 cycles was catastrophic - for example it lost 4% just by rebooting, but after few days it stabilized to my ordinary each 2nd day charging cycle when turned off in the night. The biggest battery eater seems to be for me display brightness.
Batterylife with 10F is pretty good. Over night I dont lose any battery (data off) and during the day with autosync on only ~2 percent per hour. This is even better than the Samsung Galaxy S2 which I previously used. I did set CPU max speed to 1,1GHz with SetCPU.

i'm using 1800 mugen power battery. it's better on about 20/30 % and you can really see that. so if you want to buy new battery - better buy this one than original. i'm working with it for half of a year n everything is fine.
about your battery - yes, it can go in that way and its normal for our dev.

Mine is about the same as yours, 100% at sleep and 88(at times it's 87 or 86) or so when I wake up. But I think I slept for about 10h
Edit*
Atm it's at 80% and it has been on battery for 13h exactly
im having issue with poor battery life on this device too up to 5hrs ~)
A tip is to disable sweep2wake if you have it enabled. it consumes a lot battery. Since I disabled it yesterday my battery gained a couple of hours battery life.
Using Longevity on CyanVivo X Rom and very impressed with the battery backup, Lasting over 18 Hours with average 3G data use and gaming before it was like 8-10 hours with Juice defender. Don't keep data on all the time otherwise use longevity Worth a try!

Imo it's just placebo effect. I actually think that they waste battery than save.
About battery saving apps:
Some might help save some of your battery, like Juice Defender, but about 100% of the stuff that an app does is something you can do for yourself.
Like dim the screen when you don't need 100% brightness, turn off data and use only GSM when you don't need to use data (and if 3G has better reception it might be worth staying on 3G though, at least in my world a better reception would mean a little bit better battery than if you changed to the network mode with worse reception) and when you don't need WiFi - you turn it off.
Using apps to kill other services and apps are not a good idea either, since some apps will only restart and restart and restart while the task killer will keep killing = both apps will drain your battery.
And by turning off both WiFi and data and the apps are well designed, they should not try to look for updates and such if there are no available internet connections.
And, by undervolting you gain more than using different apps and such and if you then learn how to set up your device in the best way for battery you will get longer battery life.
If I don't use my phone so often, I can get about 2 days with 3G/GSM + WiFi turned on all the time and mobile data connection turned on all the time. If I use it a lot I still get long enough battery time to make a full day, usually I need to charge my phone every 18-24 hours when I use it to check mail, send some texts and read news (and XDA, as the addicted person I am).
Now, I just hope that I haven't f*cked anything up - I'm just too lazy to read it through.

I bought myself a Nexus 7 about a month ago to satisfy the cravings for that Jellybean goodness. After trying several ICS/JB roms on my IncS over the past year, I decided to revert back to the CM7 Nightlies. Much to my surprise it's almost as if I forgot how blazingly fast Gingerbread was.
Given how i use my IncS on a daily basis, I seem to be averaging around 34-36 hours before it hits below 5%. It really only gets used for calls, texts and wifi tethering to my N7.

I used to average 30% battery drain per day with light use with stock GB rom and kernal, it has upped to approx 50% per day with stock ICS rom, with lOst profit's overclock kernal running at 1400 wake and 368 sleep. ( setcpu )
Not bad considering 40% increase in processor speed, but less than 20% increase in battery usage.

keep in mind you have to give it a couple of hours , maybe even a day(depending on how much it has to do and your connection etc) Before the rom settles down after flashing. Then you can give your impression of it if it is laggy or not.
how much your battery last in standby mode?
Guys I have created this thread Coz I'm really confused as I don't remember how much my battery used to last before I was into flashing daily roms...now I'm on temasek 134.5 with Stephan kernel..and my battery drains almost 8-10% per hour without data,, wifi on and also 2g mode.baseband and ril matching...also I smart flashed calibrated underclock and undervolt and still no success and the best part is I recently bought brand new authentic lg battery from lg showroom I searched almost all forums deleted Google backup transport.apk also as in some forum it was mentioned tried all roms and all kernels the drain pattern is almost similar..kindly help guys..

i think that is Temasek 129 or 130 (not quite sure because the settings show 1xx, but i know that every newer rom 131-135 didn't work for me)

btw this 2 day battery life is with processor 216-1100 Mhz setting (not with that 1504 mhz from antutu screen)

It actually did happen and it wasn't a battery reading bug. After a few minutes of usage my battery percentage sunk by 1%. As usual. No clue how that happened but the room was seriously cold (around 2-3 degrees Celsius.) and I haven't touched the phone at all. Also the processor was clocked at 216mhz the entire time.
Unfortunately that was back in June and I have no way to prove it. This did really happen though. I was pretty shocked too when I saw the ridiculously low drain.
